Let f (x) = –x2 + 3x + 1 and g(x) = 2x. Look at the composition shown. What is the error in the student’s work? f (g (x)) = –(2x

)2 + 3x + 1 = –4x2 + 3x + 1

Answer:

The error he did was that in place of 3(2x) he wrote 3x

i.e. the error was in the second term of the expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

f (x) = -x² + 3x + 1 and g(x) = 2x

f(g(x))=f(2x)

        = -(2x)²+3(2x)+1

       = -4x²+6x+1

But, student wrote it as:

f (g (x)) = -(2x)² + 3x + 1 = -4x² + 3x + 1

On comparing our work with the students work, we see that

The error he did was that in place of 3(2x) he wrote 3x

i.e. the error was in the second term of the expression.

Using the Factor Theorem, the polynomials are given as follows:

1. P(x) = x^5 + 2x^4 - 7x^3 + x^2

2. P(x) = 0.8(x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 64x)

3. P(x) = -0.1(x³ - 4x² - 3x + 18)

<h3>What is the Factor Theorem?</h3>

The Factor Theorem states that a polynomial function with roots x_1, x_2, \codts, x_n is given by:

f(x) = a(x - x_1)(x - x_2) \cdots (x - x_n)

In which a is the leading coefficient.

Item a:

The parameters are:

a = 1, x_1 = x_2 = 1, x_3 = x_4 = 0, x_5 = -4

Hence the equation is:

P(x) = (x - 1)²x²(x + 4)

P(x) = (x² - 2x + 1)(x + 4)x²

P(x) = (x³ + 2x² - 7x + 1)x²

P(x) = x^5 + 2x^4 - 7x^3 + x^2

Item b:

The roots are:

x_1 = x_2 = 4, x_3 = 0, x_4 = -4

Hence:

P(x) = a(x - 4)²x(x + 4)

P(x) = a(x² - 16)x(x - 4)

P(x) = a(x³ - 16x)(x - 4)

P(x) = a(x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 64x)

It passes through the point x = 5, P(x) = 36, hence:

45a = 36.

a = 4/5

a = 0.8

Hence:

P(x) = 0.8(x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 64x)

Item 3:

The roots are:

x_1 = x_2 = 3, x_3 = -2

Hence:

P(x) = a(x - 3)²(x + 2)

P(x) = a(x² - 6x + 9)(x + 2)

P(x) = a(x³ - 4x² - 3x + 18)

For the y-intercept, x = 0, y = -1.8, hence:

18a = -1.8 -> a = -0.1

Thus the function is:

P(x) = -0.1(x³ - 4x² - 3x + 18)
